Welcome to the IGN AU Daily Deals article, also unofficially known as the “How Low Can That Starfield Constellation Edition Go” limbo check. Full truth: I’m eyeing a purchase of it myself, and my absolute must-buy mark is going to be that magical $200. Shall we reach that numerical event horizon where nothing—not my money, or even light itself—can possibly escape? I dunno. But it was $256.14 yesterday…

In retro news, I’m celebrating the 26th birthday of StarCraft, the venerable RTS GOAT. It needs little introduction, so I’ll not zerg rush you with the fondest memories of the hundreds of hours I spent on it. Instead, let’s use this space to reminisce on how nuts 1998 was for Oz game launches. Half-Life, Ocarina of Time, Resident Evil 2, Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy VII, Tekken 3, Banjo-Kazooie, Baldur’s Gate, PokĂ©mon Red and Blue—madness! It’s like the devs of the day heard “98” and mistook it for the review score to hit.

Hori Real Arcade Pro. V Hayabusa

Quality Hori Hayabusa components, well-spaced buttons, a sturdy build, and easy modding make this an excellent fight stick. A top choice for Smash Bros, Streeties 30th Anniversary, MK 1, MK 11, and that hundred odd range of Arcade Archives titles.
